Kelly replied back, "Omg. I have Hashimoto's. How did you know that?"  The  Mayo Clinic describes hypothyroidism as "a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones." Symptoms include hair thinning, weight gain, fatigue and bloated faces. Hashimoto's is along the vein of hypothyroidism and is explained as "a condition in which your immune system attacks your thyroid."

The Positive Beverage CEO previously underwent another procedure. On January 13, Kelly shared the results of her chemical peel and "mini facelift." Her doctors gave injections around her jawline to make her face more defined. Kelly posted several videos on her Instagram Stories from her doctor's visit. "So Jessica did a VIPeel on me and look at all that. I mean it's bad, it's disgusting," Kelly said as she panned the camera to show her flaky skin. "Now she's doing a hydrofacial on me so I'm going to have nice, fresh skin after we're done."
